Judy's new CD, "In the Sundance" was released on BluJazz Productions in June 2009!
With her tenth album as a leader, “In the Sundance”, Judy Niemack pays tribute to the healing power of the sun and the resiliency of the human spirit. Accompanied by an all-star band, she presents fresh interpretations of jazz standards, French and Italian Pop songs, including “How About You”, Brazilian composer Ivan Lins’ “Sails”, Bruno Martino’s “Estate” and a sparsely crafted duo on “Beautiful Love” with bassist Rufus Reid. Other highlights include arrangements of classics by George Gershwin, Michel Legrand, Henry Mancini, and Dubin and Warren’s rarely heard “Summer Night”, plus music... Read More >> |

 |  |  | | | | | |  | "Blue Nights" released on BluJazz | "Niemack represents jazz singing at its finest and most accomplished. Throughout her two-decade career, she has consistently bordered on flawless, yet she's never become mannered or predictable.
It seems only appropriate that Judy Niemack spends a significant
amount of her time teaching, for there isn't anyone--whether jazz
neophyte or veteran--who can't learn from her.
Her latest, a 12-track homage to the various moods and sentiments associated with the color blue, is at once a sublime testament to her long-established musical prowess and an utterly refreshing exercise in interpretive brilliance. "

|  | Jazz Vocal Standards | I'm happy to announce that my book, "Jazz Vocal Standards" was released by Hal Leonard in Spring of 2008. It's an introduction to jazz singing and vocal improvisation with ballads, bossa-nova, samba, and medium swing grooves.
Each title on the CD has a vocal version and a play along track. The vocal tracks are in female-friendly keys when you play it on a CD player, but when you play it on a computer, it automatically opens software that allows you to change both keys and tempos.
My Artistshare online lesson about "Funny Valentine" can be practiced with the play-along included in this volume.

|  | Hear It and Sing It! Exploring Modal Jazz | Here's the book my ArtistShare vocal improvisation lessons are based on. You don't need any theoretical knowledge to take the online lessons offered here, but if you'd like to delve more deeply into vocal improvisation, the book will provide you with lots of information and a 70 minute practice CD.
"Hear It and Sing It!" offers the most basic yet potentially effective way to learn vocal jazz theory and scaling."
Jazztimes, Jazz Education Guide 2008/09
"Intelligent and well-conceived. The CD is great--a useful practice tool--and Judy's beautiful singing is a fabulous model for other singers!"
Michele Weir, Vocal Jazz Improvisation
"Finally, a clear explanation and demonstration of the use of modes! This book fills a huge void in vocal-jazz education."
Dan Haerle, The Jazz Language
"An excellent textbook...the exercises are vocalist-friendly yet challenging, and the accompaniment is superb."
Darmon Meader, New York Voices

"Talk Awhile" Pat Metheny/Judy Niemack
I first learned Pat Metheny's "It's Just Talk" when I was invited to perform it at the Pori Jazz Festival in Finland. Since it had no lyric, I sang it as a wordless vocal. I loved the song, and eventually wrote a lyric about my hope for better communication between people and nations.
